When someone applies to join and names you as their proposer or seconder, the club emails you at the address it holds for you: **… has named you as proposer for membership** (or seconder). Your answer goes to the committee. You do not need to sign in.

## Answer

1. Press **Answer now** in the email. A page opens: **You have been named as proposer**, and **Do you know …?**
2. If you know them, type how long you have known them. Add anything you would like the committee to know, if you wish.
3. Press **Yes, I know … and support the application**, or **No, I can't support this**.

The page then says **Thank you**. For a yes, **Your support has gone to the committee.**; for a no, **We have let the club know.**

If you do not know the person, press **No**. The applicant is not told what you answered; the club follows it up.

## Good to know

- Each answer can be given once. To change it, contact the club.
- The link works for 30 days. The office can send a fresh one.
- Once the application has been decided, the page says **This application has already been decided.** There is nothing more to do.
- If you press **Yes** without saying how long you have known them, the page asks: **Say how long you have known them.**
